If she's a sporting sort of girl who'll take on Vittie at his own meetings and make things hum generally, I think I'll engage her and her lot. I don't happen to be a magistrate myself, but most of them are your supporters. There won't be a bit of use his trying to have her up for rioting. We'll simply laugh at him and she'll be worse afterward. Let me see now. She's in Dublin.
The amount of electioneering capital which could be made out of an act of heroism of that kind why, it would catch the popular imagination more than if I jumped into a mill race to save Vittie from a runaway horse, and everybody knows that if you can bring off a spoof of that sort an election is as good as won." Titherington growled. "All the papers would have it," I said.
But Vittie is to be your chief prey. I wonder Mr. Titherington didn't insist on inserting a clause to that effect in the agreement." "Tither's hated signing it. I was obliged to keep prodding him on or he wouldn't have done it. Selby-Harrison said that either you or he must, so of course it had to be him. We couldn't go for you in any way because we'd promised to respect your scruples."
I won't be answerable for the consequences unless she's stopped at once." "I suppose you're speaking about Miss Beresford?" "Instead of talking rot about woman's suffrage," said Titherington savagely, "and ragging Vittie, which is what we brought her here for, she's going round calling everybody a liar. And it won't do. I tell you it won't do at all."
'He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day." I did not see how the proverb applied to me. "Do you mean the influenza?" I said. "That was scarcely my fault. My temperature was 104." "All the same," said Thormanby, "you didn't exactly stand up to her, did you?" I understood then that he was thinking about La-lage. "Nor did O'Donoghue," I said. "And Vittie really was shamming.
"Have you been to see him." "No. The aunt came round to us this morning with tears in her eyes, and begged us to spare Vittie." "I suppose the things you have been saying about him have made him worse." "According to his aunt they keep him in such an excitable state that he can't sleep. I told her I was jolly glad to hear it.
We felt it particularly when, one night at about twelve o'clock, a large crowd visited us in turn and groaned under our windows. O'Donoghue and Vittie, with a view to ingratiating themselves with the electors, wrote letters to the papers solemnly declaring that they sincerely wished Lalage to return. Nobody believed them.
I gave him a hint beforehand that we were thinking of calling in another man if you didn't improve. He simply bounded on to the platform after that. It'll be an uncommonly nasty jar for Vittie. The speaking wasn't up to much, most of it; but I wish you'd heard the cheers when I apologized for your absence and told them you were ill in bed. It would have done you good.
The bright-green peaked caps of the other players told me that they were the Wolfe Tone Invincible Brass Band. It usually played tunes favourable to O'Donoghue. Vittie did not own a band. If his supporters had been musical, and if there had been any tunes in the world which expressed their political convictions, there would, no doubt, have been three bands in the procession.
I had letters yesterday morning from Vittie and O'Don-oghue asking me to cooperate with them in suppressing Lalage They see that the position is impossible just as plainly as you do. But they can't do anything. In fact they've gone to bed." "I'm not going to bed," said Miss Pettigrew. "I'm going to bring Lalage home with me." "How?"
